HPV Vaccination in Bali: Who Should Get It & How to Book Safely
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a cornerstone in the prevention of several types of cancer and other HPV-related diseases. If you are living in or visiting Bali, understanding the importance of HPV vaccination, determining eligibility, and ensuring you book your vaccine safely can have a profound impact on your long-term health. At Trishnanda Care Centre, we combine global best practices with the convenience of high-quality, English-speaking healthcare delivered directly to your door.
What is HPV and Why Is Vaccination Important?
Understanding Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
HPV is a group of more than 200 related viruses, transmitted primarily through sexual contact. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), certain types of HPV are responsible for nearly all cases of cervical cancer, as well as a significant percentage of anal, oropharyngeal, penile, vulvar, and vaginal cancers. Other types can cause genital warts.
The Role of the HPV Vaccine
Modern HPV vaccines target the most common high-risk strains responsible for cancer and the most frequent types causing genital warts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WHO recommend HPV vaccination as a critical preventative measure for individuals before exposure to the virus.
Who Should Get the HPV Vaccine?
Recommended Age Groups
International guidelines recommend the HPV vaccine for:
• Children and adolescents aged 9-14 years: This is the primary target group, as vaccination before sexual debut offers maximum protection.
• Teenagers and young adults aged 15-26 years: Vaccination is still highly effective if not administered earlier.
• Adults aged 27-45 years: In some cases, adults in this age group can benefit from vaccination after consulting with a healthcare provider about their individual risk factors.
Gender Considerations
Both females and males benefit from HPV vaccination. While cervical cancer is only a risk for women, men are also at risk for other HPV-associated cancers and can transmit the virus to partners. The CDC and WHO both endorse universal vaccination for all genders.
Individuals with Special Considerations
• Immunocompromised individuals: People with weakened immune systems may need to follow a different vaccination schedule. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential.
• Previous HPV infection: Vaccination may still provide protection against other HPV strains not previously contracted.
• Pregnancy: The vaccine is not currently recommended during pregnancy. Women should wait until after childbirth.
Consulting a Professional Before Vaccination
Every individual’s health needs are unique. At Trishnanda Care Centre, our 24/7 doctor-on-call service allows you to discuss your medical history and any concerns with an English-speaking doctor or nurse before booking your vaccination.

What Are the Benefits of Getting Vaccinated in Bali?
Cancer Prevention
The primary benefit of HPV vaccination is protection against cancers caused by high-risk HPV strains. According to the WHO, widespread vaccination could prevent up to 90% of cervical cancer cases globally, as well as reduce rates of other HPV-related cancers.
Protection Against Genital Warts
The vaccine also guards against low-risk HPV types that cause genital warts, which can be distressing and require medical intervention.
Community Immunity
When more people are vaccinated, the overall circulation of HPV decreases within the community. This herd immunity effect offers indirect protection to those who are not vaccinated or are immunocompromised.
Convenience and Peace of Mind for Residents and Travelers
Whether you are a Bali resident or an international visitor, accessing trustworthy healthcare in a new environment can be challenging. Trishnanda Care Centre offers mobile vaccination services across Bali, providing safe access to essential vaccines without the risk or hassle of navigating unfamiliar clinics or hospitals.
How Safe Is the HPV Vaccine?

The safety of HPV vaccines is supported by data from millions of doses administered worldwide over more than 15 years. The vaccine is considered extremely safe, with side effects generally limited to mild pain at the injection site, headache, or slight fever—similar to most routine vaccinations.

Major health organizations such as WHO, CDC, and Indonesia’s Ministry of Health continuously monitor vaccine safety. Severe allergic reactions are extremely rare.
